The song lyrics:

You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet
Shoot me down, but I get up

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium

Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Talking loud, not saying much

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium

Stone-hard, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard as bulletproof glass

You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium

You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium

I am titanium

Construction evaluation

To create this magazine front cover I needed a picture of Dillon and to get one, I needed to use a camera and direct Dillon into the same pose as the one on the front cover of the magazine I am copying. What went well is that I managed to get Dillon into the centre and into the same pose as the magazine. I could have taken more photos though to allow me to have a wider variety to choose from when copying the magazine. Also I could have chosen a better magazine to copy because my first choice was not professional and went against a lot of magazine conventions. 

The photos I took were uploaded onto my computer but I needed to select the one which I think best copied the magazine and looks the best. I learnt to look more closely at the pictures and see what was similar and different to the original cover.

When editing the picture of Dillon, I learnt to used Adobe Elements 11 to improve the quality of the photo and to crop Dillon so he would cover more of the page.

After that, I learnt to used InDesign to add the masthead and other text to the magazine front cover. I then learnt to changed the colour of the text and add colours behind it to make them stand out. When making the front cover, I learnt how simple it is to add and change the colours and positions of the text. When copying the cover, I learnt how they were set out to have the model in the middle as the main focus and the test surrounding them. I can also see how they choose contrasting colours to allow for some parts like the masthead to stand out and attract people.
